Belted Galloways on the Pasture

Written by Paul on November 3rd, 2011

Summary:

The belties have almost made it to the end of October on pasture forages alone. We have had great grass growing weather this fall and with our rotational grazing we have been able to maximize the growth potential of the pasture forages by allowing the best forages to re-grow for three weeks before they see the cattle again. This also helps to break the re-infestation cycle of parasites. We currently have six paddocks and hope to add a couple more next summer. The cows will be on the pasture until the end of November. Its a great time to come take a walk.
